Carlos Boozer had 30 points and 16 rebounds, Andrei Kirilenko scored 22 points and the Utah Jazz extended their longest road winning streak in eight years with a 100-89 win over the Golden State Warriors on Friday night in Oakland.
C.J. Miles added 16 points, and Deron Williams had nine points and 11 assists for the Jazz, who won for the 16th time in 18 games and moved within a half-game of first-place Denver in the Northwest Division.
Utah's six-game winning streak on the road is its longest since winning six straight from Feb. 12-20, 2002. The Jazz, who own the NBA's best record at home the past four seasons, were only 12-12 on the road this season before their blowout win over the Warriors.
C.J. Watson had 22 points and Corey Maggette added 14 for Golden State, which scored a season-low 10 points in the second quarter.
The Warriors struggled most of the night offensively in Monta Ellis' return to the lineup following a three-game absence.
This one was over before halftime.
The Jazz scored the first 17 points in the second quarter and led 45-31 before Watson's 19-foot baseline jumper finally ended the Warriors' scoring drought. Utah made eight of its first nine shots in the period, while Golden State missed 11 of its first 12.
